It seems that the managers OF Mr. Nicolls
canvass have not much confidence In the de-
votion OF the Republicans to him. for they got

port on their fidelity to Nicoll. All the leaders
were not there, for several Of Thorn have tired

calls the roll. The leaders who did answer to
their names went through the usual process
and vowed fidelity to Nicoll. 1t ia hard to see
how. II their original promises to support
Nicoll are not strong enough to hold. the repe-

strung up to concert pitch.
Besides the investigations and pledging OF
the leaders, which was not done in the open
meeting, the Executive Committee heard the
reports OF the subcommittee that hos boon
considering tho cases Of the Seventh Senate
and Thirteenth Assembly districts. In the
Seventh Senate district the subcommittee OF
Col. Cruger. James W. Perry, and Frank Ray
mond reported that they had been unable to
reconcile Frederick p. Doerr. the Patterson
candidate. and George ]. Kraus. the OBrieu

blllty. There were indications that tho Nicoll
boom. when 1t first started. would sweep every

with associates In business and friends OF great
